• 17367, 213, CLR, Eric 11-24SH, Bowman County, North Red River B

Samson Resources has a very nice well in Divide County, right near the Canadian border; considering how far north this is, this is a nice well and very nice to see (remembering that KOG just acquired 20,000 net acres in Divide County):
